How to Control Windows Volume with a MIDI Controller

Use a MIDI knob or fader for system volume and app-specific volume targets.

Learn a knob/fader, set it to a volume action, choose either System Volume or App Target Volume, then save.

  1. Add your MIDI device.
  2. Click Learn Fader/Knob and move the control you want to use.
  3. In the editor, choose a volume mapping type.
  4. Choose System for master volume, or choose App Target for a specific application.
  5. Save and test by moving the control.

For App Target volume, the target app must be running and producing audio so Windows creates an audio session.
